October 14, 2021October 28, 2021

Type of trial: Field trial
Location of trial: Philippines
Trial period: six weeks in autumn 2020 (from 26^th week of life onwards)
Experimented animals: Layers (Lohmann breed)
Aim of the Trial: Assess the effect of XVET`s Metavolin Herbal® on Pre-Peak and Peak Performance of laying hens

Introduction
It has been demonstrated that supporting the liver during stressful periods can lead to improvement of layer performance. It was hypothesized, that Metavolin Herbal® enhances the chicken`s metabolism by supporting the hepatic system, thus leading to an increased performance and better health of the birds, which might be useful especially around peak of laying when hepatic stress factors are at its highest.

The skeletal system: More than just a frame.

March 25, 2021March 25, 2021

Hollow bones, which will conform to the respiratory system, are called pneumatic bones. On the other hand, medullary bones are the ones that will serve as a source of calcium for eggshell formation. For the skeletal system to be able to fulfill so many functions, the formation of bone will play an important role. Bone is a living tissue and it requires proper nutrition and control of multiple factors for the best performance. Poor nutrition, stress, or poor management can result in deformations or structural weaknesses.

When we are talking about nutritional deficiencies, two minerals play an important role in proper bone formation and ossification: Calcium and phosphorus.

Ovostrong (XVET Germany) enhancing the performance parameters on laying…

The eggshell is a protective shield for the contents of the egg, giving not only a structure but also a membrane that allows the egg to exchange gas and humidity through it. Good eggshell quality is affected by various factors such as the strain of the animal, age, usage of medications, stress, and nutrition. One important factor that can be enhanced is nutrition; the addition of a good and balanced source of calcium and phosphorus will help to improve the eggshell quality. A bad eggshell quality will result in broken eggs, deformed eggs, or bad hatchability; which translates to big economic losses for producers.

The results of this study are showing that Ovostrong administration in layer farms will help to obtain higher performance levels by increasing egg quality and egg production rate; which will lead to a higher return on investment, especially in older laying hens.

In Peru, as well as other parts of the world, poultry farming has become very important due to the high market demand for meat and eggs. This industry is dependent on imported feed ingredients and therefore there will always be challenges on improving productivity and prices. Thus, reducing the cost of production in laying hens is vital. In recent years, feed costs have been increasing dramatically and now it is up to 70 percent of livestock production cost. Currently, the use of additives is a common practice due to their clear benefits.Therefore, nutritional additives such as Turbo Tox® play a key role on today’s productions.

It is concluded that the use of Turbo Tox®, XVET Germany at the dosage of 1 kg per ton of feed is beneficial and cost effective for laying performances. 1 kg Turbo Tox® per ton of feed is sufficient for improving laying hens productivity and increasing the performance of:
·      Egg production
·      ROI (Return on investment)
·      Weight gain
·      Average egg weight
·      Total egg mass
·      Feed conversion rate

Effect of XVET’s Cal D Phos® on the eggshell…

September 3, 2020December 8, 2020

Egg production has become a key protein source in modern society due to the rise of animal protein prices on the market. One of the most important parts of the egg is the eggshell which will give structure and strength to the egg as well as the capacity for it to exchange humidity and oxygen through it. In XVET we put Cal D Phos to the test to see the improvements recorded using this product on the field. After administrating Cal D Phos the eggshell increased in thickness over 0.11mm in average in comparison to thickness measurements before the use of Cal D Phos. This increases on the eggshell quality may help to avoid breakage of eggs or micro-fracturing of the eggshell at farm and transportation level.

Zincotin is enhancing breeder performance

The effect of Zincotin, XVET Germany on broiler breeder performances was estimated in this study.

The experiment was done at a broiler breeder farm in North of Iran. 30.278 birds (Arbor Acres Plus) were evaluated in 8 houses of this farm from week 40 to 67 of the production period. The experimental farm consists of 3 houses as treatment group (Zincotin) and 5 houses as control. All houses had similar conditions and with the density (Birds in every square meter) of 6.04.

The number of hens in the treatment and control group were 10.932 and 17.368 respectively. This groups had 765 and 1213 roosters in treatment and control groups as well. Even though the sex ratio at week 26 (Before starting the experiment) was 8.2% the experiment started with the Female to male ratio (⚤) of 6% for both treatment and control group. Environmental situation, diseases, spiking and available healthy roosters in the farm were affecting the designed ⚤.
